This game looks fantastic! Was not on my radar at all, but after this video, I'm definitely going to be picking it up. A great C&C style RTS is exciting, and long overdue!

I just saw that on the Patreon and came here to see if anyone had mentioned it. It's a good response.. and truthfully I'm not against Digital Foundry having ads and finding ways to generate more income, but was rather concerned that there was no input from DF at all in the video.. it was just a...

Yeah, I clicked it earlier expecting a Nintendo sponsored DF video with their anaylsis and commentary, and all I saw was a straight copy/pasted Nintendo ad. Kind of disappointing.. not going to lie. I don't want this type of stuff to start littering DF.

I've spent over $20K on Steam itself... and probably 2x that amount on keys from official retailers like GreenmanGaming and Fanatical.

Has anyone tried older drivers vs newer drivers on the 40 series and reported any changes/improvements on it? What about the newest DirectStorage DLLs? I just recently tried Ratchet and Clank again and noticed that since getting my 9800X3D, the portal transition sequence loads so much faster...

@Mamoniem on twitter would do an amazing job of this. He's done a few Sony games already and has already stated some interest in potentially doing God of War: Ragnarok to compare it to the previous God of War 2018 PC port. He goes super deep though so it can take months and months of his free...

Yea, I'm just finding that out now haha. GoT doesn't support it according to SpecialK.. and even in Final Fantasy 16 which it does say supports it.. does literally nothing when you disable GPU decompression, or BypassIO altogether.. lol I'm inclined to believe SpecialK may accurately report...

Regardless.. it would prove that decompression on the GPU at runtime is the issue. But the engine falling back to standard decompression is handled by Nixxes... When you remove the dlls with Ratchet and Clank, the game reverts to using the traditional path. See my post above. If you look on...

Ok, I just finished trying out two other games. Final Fantasy 16, which according to SpecialK utilizes GPU decompression with DirectStorage, and it does NOT have any issue at all when spinning the camera dropping frames, nor does it stutter when rapidly flinging the mouse wildly... and Ghost of...

It doesn't work for these games. Unlike Ratchet and Clank you need the .dlls otherwise it doesn't run. Why is what I provided not enough for you? Literally decompressing the files using the tools prevents the issue from happening in MH:W.. the conclusion is that GPU decompression is the...

Because there's no "disable GPU decompression" in Monster Hunters settings... Because there could any number of non-DirectStorage reasons as to why Nvidia has a particular issue where AMD doesn't... considering the games were originally developed around AMD hardware. Why would you assume that...

We know it to be the case because when you decompress the textures using the tool I linked above... there's no issue on either GPUs. Furthermore, Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the only other points of reference using GPU decompression which isn't a port done by Nixxes utilizing Insomniac's...

Maybe there's some misunderstanding, but that's what I meant. Obviously they're not going to be fixing the drivers lol..

Good on them! Now maybe modders could fix the issues 50 series have with PhysX in those older games no longer supported.
